You know what’s funny? This is exactly how I learned how to be a gunner for our Battle Ship the SS Mercy’s Battle Gurl, based off the Mercy Battle Group Coalition, during the War 119. We were the first Wardens with a battleship. Stema was a great place for gunnery practice against the Howi Bunkers and the OP helped us learn how to take Azmith Calculations while under fire. We used that knowledge then to take all of Stema.
Well. Maybe you shelled me, because for the first time ever I was in Stema when it fell :D I ALWAYS miss it, I thought I was a good luck charm for a while hahaha :D
i started playing this game yesterday partially because of your videos im playing as a warden now i spent today 14 hours playing the game of which 13 was spent on logistics driving fuel and meds into the frontlines in westgate while being fired upon with artillery what a game it is i also got ambushed by clonial partisans twice unfortunately for them me and my car survived both times i manged to even craft 300 crates of bmat's and ship them with freighter to the frontline
You are recording history in the making. We are at a new horizon, the war has only just begun begun - tales from the front will carry on through the generations, our blight will not be forgotten - long live the imperium!
HCNS Mentioned! As a HCNS representative we had a fun time watching our navy come and go from these naval Invasions, every time a ship limped back Into our drydocks their crews would tell us the stories of there assaults. It was fun keeping these boys repaired and constantly going back out!
I hope to see those shipyards in person one day, unfortunately I think I'm going to have to be a Warden to do that hahahaha You guys are crazy @_@ ggwp
I was partially on HCNS' own battleship "Vanguard" that was built for war 117, when it went out to support our invasion of the Fingers. Short to say, we refueled at Stlican Shelf... Where a Collie torpedo came out of literally nowhere, and hit the hull of our ship DIRECTLY on the other side of where I was standing. Short to say, I was instantly obliterated. Only casualty of that torpedo attack. But the ship stayed afloat, we repaired it etc. etc. But MAN that torpedo came SO out of nowhere, I barely had time to react before I was dead. Such fun stories that can be told in Foxhole, even when ya don't accomplish much yourself.
@@Yzandros666 HCNS were not able to match it's personal best of most ships produced in a war, being around 80... But we crushed it too. 160 large ships and almost 200 repairs done. We were VERY efficient that war.
@@TheTrytix i remember during one day at fingers or reavers, scum frigate going for urgent repairs to HCNS for an hour before coming back to fight lmao
If you think about it. Basically its training for wardens and colonials One side gets better at naval warfare while the other gets better at dealing with naval warfare
..... seeing how many arty pieces we had around stema this war, that makes sense. I even used a mortar truck for the first time solo to counter a gunboat. I'm *learning* hahahha
@TheCorgies no, they ignore them. There was a 'Naval Museum' at Baths full of large ships that were built by all sorts of regiments that were never crewed or used. I won't say any more about it because rn it's a bit of a sore topic among some colonials regarding what should be done with the Naval hexes.
@@TheCorgiesThe colonists' problem is not that their fleet is worse or better (the destroyer, which is the skeleton of the colonists' fleet, is better). The colonist clans are too picky about allies at sea and make little contact. It got to the point that. The colonists have only 1 known maritime alliance that lives in the American time zone. At the same time, the Varden were able to organize several alliances at sea, there are Chinese players, there are Russian players (CIS), there are European players, there are American players. The Varden patrol the seas more often, which is why the colonists can only deal with the consequences while they were sleeping, or react to the attacks of the Varden.
I thought this was 119 too lol. We literally just learned how to be a crew on that warden frigate and we got a 15 min training session (while travelling) then went straight to hell lol.
Well, If I had the time I'd try and interview a lot of people from both sides about these battles post-war, then this'd be a proper netflix documentary series :D ....about a fictional war, involving many many larpers of all kinds lol
We already have enough to worry about HAHAHAHA though I heat that Anvil empires (Medieval foxhole ish, the other game that these devs are working on) has a... food system. Logi pls send bread thanks
I think you could probably use tanks for a makeshift artillery,when the gunships attack make the tanks hide Or try to surprise the beachers with artillery 😊
Bruh... I just started pleying foxhole again, and my first expierience was doing exactly what you are doing (relentlessly gunning down invadors on Stema beaches) but on the opposite side of the conflict. ...well other than enemy having naval superiority... I did witness a destroyer doing a machine gun drive by though.
I was trying to build up the area a lot, but now it is a desolate wasteland, full of husks and empty relic bases, probably to the extent of many pacific islands in world war 2.
Well... steam does have a 2 hour/2week whichever comes first return policy. But I do understand how the camera would turn people off, foxhole really isn't for everyone, I had the same feeling too but after I played it, it made a lot of sense for a game like this
The stema landing thing as training was not totally correct. Yes we got better and better as time passed, but Stema was our original objective of this war and was much harsher to invade than Fingers had been, it took us 2 weeks of daily bombardment and 5/6 hours ops, with partisaning in between.
Sorry if that was the case. I talked to scylaar (a pretty prominent Navy guy among the wardens, as far as I know) about the invasion at the fingers a while back, and he said that it they used stema to train their guys till they managed to take it, then took the fingers soon after with a huge fleet. Not to take away how difficult it must've been to take stema first, you guys were doing raids there for ages. o7 Edit: Scylaar credentials, I'm not sure if I had permission to connect their in-game name to their youtube channel, if you know him you know him
@ no worries ! I think it’s definitely the case that we got our tactics down to a notch when we arrived at fingers. With the use of a bluefin for exemple and coordinating subs and clans ! But people underestimate how much a hassle the two weeks we spent bombarding stema was ! Nearly burnt out in 6 hours ops every night aha
Yeah I saw the warden point of view. 6 subs, 4 battleships rotating in and out of the fingers, with so many different clans involved, when saw the list my jaw dropped. bravo. I really wish I was there when stema fell, I missed it in 112 and 117, I was usually at work or something just refreshing the map on my phone, mildly panicking. But not this time, I was around when it fell in 119 hahaha :D
@@BlueLaminate Glad you could enjoy it this time ! Small known fact but the captains had a captain vocal squad to talk to each other as well (true larp), increased efficency a shit ton, although i have been told some lost their hearing to Admiral Heinz screaming azimuts.. Also i said it before but the effort put in these videos is insane, keep it up !
How do you like being on the receiving end of unrestricted submarine warfare? It's the reason most if not all Colonial water logi are at the bottom of the hex thats being naval invaded. Also fun lore fact; there are always multiple battle ready Callahan Battleships anchored at Weadons Row.
At no point during these invasions did you bring more than 1 large ship. It was partially the collie gunboat being outclassed but mainly colonials saying naval larp was bad.
@@CodeRym idk which that engagement you're talking about. I just saying that what you said "At no point during these invasions did you bring more than 1 large ship." isn't true.
@@TheCorgiesyes and I agree. Im just saying if Collies actually bothered to train crews for sea operations rather than complaining about balance. They might actually do something with their ships.
Do you pronounce it as "Stem-a" or "Steam-a"?
Steam-a definitely.
Stem a I think
Wardens pronunce it "Stem-a". Haven't heard anyone call it any other way
Steam-a/ah.
I've been pronouncing it with an é (almost an Ayy sound) It just feels right to me with Colonial Naming having that Greco-Latin vibe.

Hey now, it is still CNS Mercy's Baby Gurl.
8:01
"Eventually our larger ships chased the wardens away"
5 days later the wardens took that personally
well, at least that's what it looked like on the map, maybe they ran out of ammo ahhahaa
But yeah, rip alchimio T_T
It's crazy how similar war 119 and war 117 are turning out to be.
The difference being unlike in war 112 and 117, I was actually around when stema fell :D
It's quite unfortunate that stema fell T_T
Its basically the same practice team just without 11e
i started playing this game yesterday partially because of your videos
im playing as a warden now
i spent today 14 hours playing the game
of which 13 was spent on logistics
driving fuel and meds into the frontlines in westgate while being fired upon with artillery
what a game it is
i also got ambushed by clonial partisans twice
unfortunately for them me and my car survived both times
i manged to even craft 300 crates of bmat's and ship them with freighter to the frontline
o7 Jeez
holy.... 300 crates of bmats by freighter....
I never had the balls to do that 0.0
Go Blue team, another victory on the seas. Are noble heritage has prevailed yet again.
WN rules the waves
Just warden propaganda
You are recording history in the making. We are at a new horizon, the war has only just begun begun - tales from the front will carry on through the generations, our blight will not be forgotten - long live the imperium!
Seriously though 😂 I feel privileged to have come across this game and its community

Really cool video, i love the comic 3D style stuff and especially the smoke bobbles from the chimneys
Thanks :D It takes a while to make these, glad it seems to be worth it :D
I bought Foxhole a couple days ago after watching all your videos. It is as amazing as it is in your vids
Don't forget to take breaks :D Posture and Hydration check!
Have fun :D
Ah don't you love when the fortifications you're in happens to end up being just a training ground for the enemy?
Japanese in Rabaul 1943-1945: I feel your pain
We could only do "Amish Family Guy Meme" for so long :(
We love the sea of irradiated cobalt XD love your videos brother!
Unfortunately, so did the wardens.
We forgot that wardens feed off radiation D:
I was reloading and repairing (sometimes ...) the ship.
So much fun in this war.
Great video ! Thanx
2:48 PRAISE THE OMNISSAIH!!!!
@BlueLaminate thanks for the heart dude! Really liking your stuff so far. Have a great day!
Its war 119 and colonials still ignored the navy and water hexes
Bruh
I don't think they ignore it, but considered how better warden ships are, Im not surprise.
@TheCorgies no, they ignore them. There was a 'Naval Museum' at Baths full of large ships that were built by all sorts of regiments that were never crewed or used.

This is so current I thought the title said 119 at first
Well.... I dooooo have a lot of footage from stema in 119, I was there when alchimio and spearhead fell... hmmmmm
I thought this was 119 too lol. We literally just learned how to be a crew on that warden frigate and we got a 15 min training session (while travelling) then went straight to hell lol.
Wow this would make a good Netflix series. Great videos man
Well, If I had the time I'd try and interview a lot of people from both sides about these battles post-war, then this'd be a proper netflix documentary series :D
....about a fictional war, involving many many larpers of all kinds lol
They should add a food system to the game, it would be funny to see the dynamics in order to survive to a siege xD
We already have enough to worry about HAHAHAHA though I heat that Anvil empires (Medieval foxhole ish, the other game that these devs are working on) has a... food system.
Logi pls send bread thanks
the funiest part might be the time we had 10+ sniper on the BS sniping goblin on desolation beach x), 117 was really fun o7
great vid
war 120 is going to be this but triple the fun... HCNS i returning and you can bet the Wardens will have a ship for every soldier
Once the air force is added, a much worse series of blockades shall come.
I think you could probably use tanks for a makeshift artillery,when the gunships attack make the tanks hide
Or try to surprise the beachers with artillery 😊
I don't think tanks have the range though, but we do have mortar trucks which are way more mobile than artillery :D
@BlueLaminate nice plan even l haven't thought of that
Tanks unfortunately do damage to battleships in the low 0.01 % range
3:12 and a few mins before is basically just d day
Bruh... I just started pleying foxhole again, and my first expierience was doing exactly what you are doing (relentlessly gunning down invadors on Stema beaches) but on the opposite side of the conflict.

Thanks :D Yipeeee
How we collie's currently feel in Charlie server at the Clashtra
I first thougt you will be talking about the failed landing on sunday in Stema😅
I wish I was around for that even if from the clips I saw we got mowed down immediately hahahaha
You should be able to extract plasma from living or freshly dead people in game
I was trying to build up the area a lot, but now it is a desolate wasteland, full of husks and empty relic bases, probably to the extent of many pacific islands in world war 2.
the whole reason we war endlessly they wear green we wear blue simple as
*looks at my name*
Dear glob.
Hold on isn't there a 119 war rn? I didn't play the game so idk are there multiple war counters or smth?
Yep, it's 119 now. 118 was cut short for the update war., and 117 was very long :D
YT doesn't like name, seems like an interesting person xD
I realy wanna get foxhole im just scared it won't be for me due to the camera style T-T

Clearly the Imperium is invading Caoiva as well, they want our extremely dedicated trench diggers

Not gonna lie I’m a full time colonial for 40+ wars but I might become a full time warden because colonials don’t have large ship navy
Oh no I really am accidentally making Warden Propaganda D:
It's pronounced 'stema'
I really should just make a poll, probably
o7
o7
advantage to join wardons: Easy difficulty
advantage to join Colonial: better culture and people and having actual fun
this is what happen when dev give one faction far better navy ships.
